Upcoming: Jefferson Co. Fair 2010
Mark your calendars! The Jefferson County Fair is coming up August 22 through 28 and StopPATH WV will again have a booth at the fair. This year we've rented a larger booth so we'll have more room to spread out and work several exciting fundraisers as part of our fair week activity.
Last year, we asked folks to sign-up for three-hour shifts, as many as you can manage. We promise, you'll have fun! Where else can you go and talk about PATH for three hours and still be appreciated?
Check out our new Jefferson County Fair facebook page -- almost as much fun as being there (without the sweat and dust)! Join us online to help with planning or to volunteer.
Many thanks to all our volunteers from last year who kept us fully staffed for a week! We're going to need a full crew of volunteers again this year and hope they will all come back, as well as some new faces. I think we can all agree that last year we had the most fun that can be had in 90 degree weather and it's due to the great camaraderie we all share... and those ice cream cookie sandwiches from the 4-H booth! Please join us this year for more of the same!

StopPATH Benefit Yard & Bake Sale - July 10th
Due to the success of our last benefit yard and bake sale (we cleared $1,000!) we will again be offering up the finest gently used household goods, tools, antiques, books, toys and miscellaneous items to be had in Jefferson County for sale to benefit StopPATH WV's legal and expert witness fund.
We will also again be selling baked goods and Steve Smith's famous pepperoni rolls (these sell out fast, come early!) as well as beverages. Come for breakfast or come for lunch, browse and dine and get the latest PATH news.
The sale will be held on Saturday, July 10, beginning at 8:00 a.m. and lasting as long as the goodies hold out. Location: 49 Lee Brown Circle, Charles Town, Cave Quarters Estates Subdivision. Cave Quarters is located on Old Cave Road, just off Rt. 340. Look for our signs on 340, or just look for the high voltage transmission towers on the south side of 340 -- you can't miss them!
We are seeking donations for the sale -- if you have items that have been sitting around collecting dust that you'd like to get rid of, use the below form to let us know. Please, no clothing or shoes!
UPDATE: We made another $800 at the yard sale! We plan to do another one in the fall and will still be collecting donations over the summer. If you have something to donate, fill out the form below and a member of StopPATH will be in touch.

StopPATH collecting scrap metal for fundraising drive
StopPATH WV is now collecting scrap metal for recycling as part of a new fundraising drive. We are looking for old appliances, farm, garden and lawn tools, car parts, automotive and small engine batteries -- any scrap metal that you may have hanging around your property that you would like to have hauled away. The proceeds from the recycling will go towards StopPATH legal and expert witness expenses.
If you have something to donate, please use the below contact form to let us know and a member of StopPATH will be in touch to arrange pick-up of your items.
UPDATE: Our first recycling run netted $196.80 toward legal and expert witness expenses! Our second recycling run netted $460.10, and a third $139.35, for a grand total so far of $796.25! We are already collecting items for additional runs and will make this an ongoing project. Our thanks to all those who donated toward this effort. Not only are we raising critically-needed funds, we're also cleaning up our environment and recycling. Way to go, folks!

StopPATH in Christmas Parade
The Harpers Ferry Christmas parade was a great success! Clissy Funkhouser sang "The Wrath Against PATH" the length of the parade route, and we could see people tapping their feet and bobbing their heads along to the music. We had six or eight people walking alongside the float handing out almost a thousand information cards and glow-in-the-dark bracelets that said, "Oh No, We Won't Glow!" Many of the parade-goers thanked us for our efforts to stop the project - there were only a handful of people who rejected our message.
The parade organizers did a fabulous job, especially when the parade grew from 20 to almost 120 floats in just a week! It was the biggest parade Bolivar and Harpers Ferry ever held, and they kept everything organized and moving along.
Many thanks to the people who helped make the float, assemble the handouts and walk through Bolivar: Steve Smith and his wife Shirley and son Sammy, Keryn Newman, Scott Tatina and his daughter Amy, Dawn Goings, Robin Huyett Thomas, Sandie Henry, Roger Eitelman, Bob Montgomery - and if I forgot someone, my most humble apologies!
